Chapter 127 - I WOULD BE VERY DISAPPOINTED (2/2)

This time, Luo Yan did chuckle.  Who could have known that this usually expressionless guy could also have this kind of unreasonable side?  ”That would only put their guards up.  Which in turn would make it even harder for us to get the information we needed.” When he noticed that Shen Ji Yun seemed to be still struggling whether he should agree or not so Luo Yan added, ”Does Brother Ji Yun think that I'm so weak and delicate that I couldn't even handle dark and dirty places?  If so, then I would be very disappointed.”

Shen Ji Yun felt panicked when he heard that.  ”No, that's not it!  I know you're strong.” Probably not physically, but mentally and psychologically?  Very much so.  If not, then he probably wouldn't be able to function normally like any boy his age after waking up from a seven-year coma.  So no, Shen Ji Yun would never ever think that he's weak.  ”It's just that, the image of you inside a dirty cell simply doesn't sit well with me.”

Luo Yan raised one of his brows.  Now that's an answer he didn't expect.  ”Does Brother Ji Yun think that I'm some sort of fairy that doesn't deserve to be covered in any kind of dirt?” he teased.  ”Although I look like one, I'm still just a plain human.  And humans would get covered in dirt from time to time.  That's how we grow and change.”

Shen Ji Yun stopped for a moment before he continued walking.  What Luo Yan last said was probably not related to what they're talking about.  But it spoke of a truth – that when people stumbled, it helped them grew as a person.

”I understand.”

Luo Yan smiled.  ”Brother Ji Yun should watch my own brand of interrogation.  I promise, you'll definitely be entertained.”

On the other side of the manor, Duan Yu made his way to the courtyard where the corpse of the second young miss was.  After arrogantly flaunting the name of the crown prince, none of the servants bothered to stop him.

He hadn't entered the courtyard yet but he could already hear the very loud crying of probably two or three women.  When he did enter, what he saw was two women huddled over the body lying on the floor which he could only assume as the corpse of the second young miss.

”My daughter!  Why?  Why do you have to take your life?” the older of the two women cried.

”Sister… sister…” the younger one muttered, silently crying.

Judging by their dialogues, these two were probably the mother and the younger sister.  Both of them looked disheveled.  They didn't even look like noble ladies.

Duan Yu crouched down at the side of the corpse.

Noticing his presence, the mother hysterically shouted at him.  ”Who are you?  Who let you in?”

Duan Yu ignored the woman and just stared at the corpse, particularly at the mark around her neck.  It certainly matched what he heard about her hanging herself.  But just to make sure, he still used one of his skill as the 'godly doctor'.

And the result surprised him quite a bit.
